For veterans, service members, and military families, this vote means Congress has begun to do the job the Constitution assigns it.

For that, we who swore an oath to defend that Constitution are thankful.

It's a tradition that runs from 1813 to today.

The point is simple: serving far from home shouldn't cost you your vote.

For troops overseas and citizens abroad, voting isn't a walk to the polls. A ballot has to make a round trip — out across bases, ships, foreign mail, then all the way back.

Here's how voting overseas works, and the story of the military voting while deployed, long before 1986🧵

[Talking Points Memo @TPM]

Sens. Adam Schiff and Tim Kaine are circulating a draft letter within the Senate Democratic caucus objecting to the claim that a ceasefire with Iran stopped the 60-day clock on the War Powers Resolution. https://t.co/vKRnH8YkZq

Discrimination has no place in our military.

Write the White House and demand an independent review of these allegations, and a public commitment that no service member will be denied advancement because of race, gender, or political association.

Secretary Hegseth personally intervened to block the promotions of at least seven Navy officers who had been selected by a board of senior Navy admirals, the latest in a series of firings driven by his anti-diversity agenda rather than the performance

Plaintiffs asked DOJ to pause payments until the case could be heard. DOJ refused. Judge Brinkema then entered a status-quo injunction, preserving the court's ability to grant effective relief.

A federal judge today froze the Trump administration's new $1.776B "Anti-Weaponization Fund" while a constitutional challenge to it moves forward. Quick thread on who sued, what they argued, and what today's order does (and doesn't) decide. 🧵

[The Chamberlain Network @ChamberlainVets]

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema (E.D. Va.) ordered the government to stop transferring money into, paying claims out of, or processing claims submitted to the Fund. The freeze holds until she rules on the plaintiffs' motion for preliminary relief at a June 12 hearing.

January 6th was a violent assault on our nation and our Constitution, which generations of American veterans served to defend.

Pardoning those convicted for that attack was wrong.
Payouts rewarding criminals with public funds is worse.

Veterans and immigrants share more than most people realize. My conversation with @ChamberlainVets founder Chris Purdy changed how I think about both and about my own identity as a veteran doing immigration research.
